Doug Farren is the quintessential thought leader on the middle market, having founded the National Center for the Middle Market: a research institute helmed by Visa, Chubb, and the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University. Following a lengthy stint as senior supply chain manager of Limited Brands, Farren helped found the Center in 2011 to provide data analysis and insights concerning middle market companies. Ohio State has defined middle market businesses as those making between $10 million and $1 billion annually. In his role as managing director, Farren controls budgeting, supervises staff and personnel responsibilities, and corresponds with the Center’s corporate sponsors.

He is also a Penn State University graduate like Bob Buday, whom Farren has joined on Everything Thought Leadership to discuss the Center’s rise in stature as the premiere voice on the middle market economy.
